You don’t need to buy physical copies. Games from GoG and, for example, itch.io can be downloaded DRM free.

RuneScape, Ark, … DOTA2 (especially with that cry for help).

Some people get lost for thousands of hours in grand-strategy games like Europa Universalis. Or MMOs like Eve Online.

But feeling like the game consumed you is grinder and MOBA territory.

Sadly, this is normal online. Many people with some sort of exposure online will receive death threads. Some communities are more prone to it than others.

Pokémon, Sonic, Osu! and many Gacha Game communities, for example, have an unusual amount of crazy fans. When you attract their attention you will become a topic in their communities.

But when someone says they don’t buy Honda shit but than buy a used Honda, wouldn’t you say that’s weird?

The Epic Game Store was in part trying to get money in when the Unreal Engine was falling behind with Unity’s popularity. The hatred many people show for Epic Games is irrational, in my opinion. Especially when you consider that all the “arguments” against Epic Games are the same people had against Steam when it was new. It doesn’t really make sense and just seems like hate for the sake of hating.

It just seems so much like hypocrisy. Everytime Steam brought a new feature, like achievements, cards, communities, etc. people were falling all over themselves hating Steam for it.

And know they hate Epic for not offering these features?

The same with exclusive titles. People regularly hated on Steam for having a monopoly on the market and that they therefore could take increasingly bigger cuts from developers. Epic takes less money in exchange for timed exclusivity and many developers like that they get more money for their games. Why do gamers dislike that?

Yeah that’s the point… They said they never bought anything from epic games. I was wondering if they really never bought an unreal game. Why are people butthurt about that question?!

You never bought a game made with the Unreal Engine?

That’s really sad. I like Unreal Engine a lot, I hope it doesn’t suffer from this.

Female characters are heavily sexualised and objectified though. And what media does it is not helping with the issue happening in real life as well.

Family shared libraries can also ever only be used by one person. Or what do you mean with family mode?

When the Bedrock version did not exist even kids and people who weren’t technical averse did use their own servers or downloaded and used a range of mods on occasion. With the bedrock version they pay (a lot of) money for these packages and the Realms service.

That’s what Microsoft obviously would like everyone to do. They basically have a competitor that brings in less money in their own product range. But they know there will be outrage and they’ll lose customers when they just kill the Java version of Minecraft. They still try to sway people into using bedrock and I believe changing the Eula can be a step into doing this.

I am pretty sure they would prefer to extinguish the Java version of Minecraft, though. Because they earn more money with the bedrock version which has basically a huge item shop.

I think the idea that it is EEE comes up because they promised specifically to keep the Java version running parallel to the bedrock version of Minecraft.

But with the Java version you have free modifications and can run a server for free, while for the bedrock version the user has to pay for the mods and the server.

Microsoft seems to try and slowly chip away from the Java version with the goal to make users move over to the bedrock version. Or perhaps they will soon ban mods for Java with an excuse like they can’t control whether the Java mods are save for children…

Then I guess you are for forced organ donations as well.

It is still forced childbirth, obviously, because what else are you suggesting? You think after a certain point in pregnancy a woman should have to birth the child so others can adopt it. After a certain point you think the woman loses the right to chose for her own and now society has the right to dictate that she has to continue being pregnant and birth the child. I think it is important to fully realize that this is the consequence of your reasoning.

But why is that a choice society makes for her body? I have asked that elsewhere but never get an answer from people who feel women should be forced to childbirth at a certain point: do you think people should be forced to donate organs?

Actually there is no debate. It’s called a fetus until it is born. It doesn’t suddenly turn into a person with superior rights because some other person suddenly decides that now the woman lost the rights to her own body.

So in this case, because you don’t like the person, you deem to have to go through pregnancy and childbirth a rightful punishment or what exactly is your reasoning?

Pregnancy can never be 100 % prevented. Unless you sterilise someone. And you do not know the reasons for why this girl didn’t go through abortion earlier.

You would want to force a 17 year old (or any person) to go through pregnancy and childbirth because you personally feel that’s the right thing to do? What about her rights? Does she lose them by getting impregnated? Because that’s what you are wanting to enforce.

It’s disgusting to wish on women that they should lose the rights to their own bodies that easily.

It is her body not yours. Just because a woman carries a foetus she doesn’t suddenly lose rights towards her own body.

Do you think people should be forced to donate organs?

Yes it is. It is called and considered a fetus up until birth.

The rights of the already birthed person (you know, the one who’s body you are trying to police) should have considerably more weight than the rights of an unborn fetus.

Doesn’t make it any better.

There are hundreds of possible reasons for why this 17 year old did not manage to go through the abortion in time. But you really really want her to be an evil murderer who did this… For what? You really think she did this because she is just an awful human being and therefore now as punishment deserves to have to go through pregnancy and childbirth?

It is her body not yours. When you get pregnant and feel the moral obligation to go through the whole process of birthing it than you can still make this decision. But it’s not yours to make or judge about because it’s the actual already living body of another person.

I find this argumentation very weird. It is still in her body, it’s a part of her body. No one should have these kinds of rights over another person’s body. A person who actually is already alive, btw (the woman is also a living person).

Do you think people should be forced to donate organs? I feel this is a better analogy where men are actually included and can’t just stand by an watch how others are forced into stuff.
